Loop the hook end of the strap around your trailer's frame and through the loop end. Once your boat is loaded, attach the hook to the tie-down anchor on the bow of your boat. Pull the other loop end of the strap to remove any slack and turn the Kwik-Lok buckle down to tighten the strap.

Note: A bow tie-down should always be used along with a winch strap and a set of transom or gunwale tie-downs. All straps and cables should be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). To determine the maximum load, or break strength, of the strap, simply multiply the WLL by 3. The WLL is always one-third (1/3) of the maximum load.

The Pro Series system combines everything you need in a bow tie-down strap - strength, security and safety. This heavy-duty strap secures your boat's bow to your trailer and gives you peace of mind during transport. 1,200 lbs Max load.

Secure your boat's bow to your trailer quickly and easily with this 2" wide tie-down. It is simple to hook up, retracts automatically and offers a permanent mount, helping you to get on and off the water in a flash. 2,500 lbs Max load.

These straps work great. I shouldn't have waited to so long to order them.

I am using this on a 2014 Phoenix 618 boat. My trailer has a large bow step on the front that challenged me at first to find a way to mount. I lucked out and found I can take both straps directly to the center Ibeam of the trailer. Doing this I can perfectly fit this and just perfectly close the latch. Like it was built for my boat.
4 stars simply because it was not obvious to me how the device is to be used if you need to take up slack line. May be a user issue.

Good bow tie-down strap that is simple to use and does the job it supposed to do -- keeping the boat bow tied securely to the trailer.

Easy to use strap adds security to bow. Over center cam buckle tightens strap. Loop on strap secures to trailer where ever is best.

Plenty of length and strength. Sturdy mechanism. Higher quality strap than the original equipment which came with the trailer & boat.
